Privacy Policy

Effective date: October 30, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what information ddsachdeva.com (“we”, “us”, “this site”) collects when you visit, how it is used and the choices you have. The site is owned and written by Desh Deepak Sachdeva.

Information we collect

Information you give us. If you email us, we receive your name, email address and whatever you include in your message.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our hosting provider records standard server logs (IP address, browser type, pages visited, date and time) for security and performance. Advertising partners may also collect information through cookies, as explained below.

Our free tools. The tools on this site run inside your browser. Images, PDFs and text you use in them are processed on your own device and are not uploaded to our servers. Two exceptions: the YouTube Thumbnail tools load images directly from YouTube’s servers, and the Font Pairing Tool loads fonts from Google Fonts. In both cases your browser connects to those services, which may receive your IP address.

Cookies and advertising

This site is supported by Google AdSense. Google and other third-party vendors use cookies and similar technologies to show ads and to measure their performance.

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.
• Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
• You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info.
• Learn more in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.

You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Ads will still appear, but they may be less relevant.

Your consent

Visitors from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland are shown a consent message, provided through a Google-certified consent management platform, before personalized ads are served. Visitors from US states with privacy laws are shown a message that lets them opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. You can change your choices at any time using the privacy settings link shown by that message.

How we use information

• To reply to your messages.
• To keep the site secure, fast and working properly.
• To show advertising that keeps the guides and tools free.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it to build profiles of individual visitors.

Sharing

We share information only with service providers that run the site — our web host and Google (advertising) — or when the law requires it.

How long we keep information

Emails are kept for as long as needed to answer you and for our records. Server logs are kept for a limited period by our hosting provider. Advertising partners keep data according to their own policies.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR in Europe or the CCPA/CPRA in California), you may have the right to access, correct or delete your personal information, to object to or restrict its use, and to opt out of personalized advertising. To make a request, email dds@ddsachdeva.com. We will respond within 30 days.

Children’s privacy

This site is intended for a general adult audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or under 16 in the EEA). If you believe a child has sent us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Links to other websites

Our articles may link to other websites. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices, so please review their policies.

Security

The site uses HTTPS encryption and is kept updated. No method of transmission over the Internet is completely secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect information.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The effective date at the top shows when it was last changed.
